The bakery's schedule is organised into three 4hr shifts a day, all days a week, to maximize the number of prisoners who can be engaged. Staff turnover is about 30 to 40 percent as some inmates are released throughout the year. Four professional pastry chefs also work in the bakery, instructing and managing the prisoners.
Besides housing more than 500 inmates, Due Palazzi is also home to the Giotto bakery, a pastry shop that is famous across Italy. Their panettone, an Italian Christmas classic, has been frequently ranked #1of the best in the country. They also make chocolate pralines, biscuits, ice cream, etc. The whole production side takes place here, in the prison. The baked goods are then sold online and in two stores in Padua, as well as being delivered all over Italy and other countries.
